Many Moons by James Thurber

Once upon a time there lived a princess named Lenore, who fell ill from eating too many raspberry tarts. The only thing that will make her feel better is to have the moon out of the sky.  But how can the king possibly do that? With the help of a clever jester, and the princess herself, who knows a thing or two about moons.
